Anthony Thomason

Anthony Thomason, LPC - Georgia Therapist at Grow Therapy
LPC
11 years of experience
Virtual
I’m a licensed professional counselor specializing in working with individuals facing grief, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy and existential therapy, which means I help clients explore the deeper emotional patterns and unconscious dynamics that shape their present struggles. I also guide them in confronting core existential questions—around meaning, freedom, isolation, and identity—that often underlie emotional pain. In our work together, I offer a space that is reflective, grounded, and emotionally honest. I believe symptoms are not just problems to eliminate but signals pointing toward deeper truths—unresolved grief, unmet needs, or a disconnection from self and others. Through this process, I support clients in making sense of their experiences, reclaiming personal agency, and moving toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

I have collaborated with clients to improve their mental health and well-being in many different settings. My experience comes from working at a hospital Emergency Department, a community organization, and a mental health agency serving individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities, mental illness, and homelessness. Additionally, I have conducted individual and group therapy in a clinical setting. I have learned in my counseling experience that successful results require collaboration, commitment, and intentionality by both parties, the client and counselor. The client, as the expert of their life takes an active role in the treatment process and we work together for their best outcome by participating in treatment goal setting and keeping the change process alive by completing homework assignments, as needed, between counseling sessions. My hope is that an honest, trusting, and respectful relationship is built as the client realizes their best outcomes.

Hi there! I’m Ayana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW degree. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in helping Black and African-American women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, life transitions, spirituality, and stress. There are times when we find ourselves on autopilot, in a state of being that is mundane, overwhelming, and monotonous. If you are feeling stuck and want more out of life, I'm here to assist with setting goals, overcoming limiting beliefs, and developing appropriate coping skills that will propel you forward in life. I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, and person-centered therapies. These techniques help with grounding and appreciating the present moment while identifying belief patterns that are a hindrance. My services are offered on an easily accessible virtual platform, making it convenient for you to receive the support you need from the comfort of your own space. I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous and empowering step towards improving your overall mental well-being. You have already taken the right step by seeking out a qualified therapist, and I want you to know that I am here for you. Together, we can work on creating a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your true self. Outside of my professional life, I value spirituality and the strength it brings to the healing process. I am passionate about helping my clients find balance and peace in their lives. If you're ready to embark on this journey towards better mental health, let's connect and start this transformative process together.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take Peach State Health Plan (Managed Medicaid)?

Yes! If you use Peach State Health Plan (Managed Medicaid) you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Peach State Health Plan (Managed Medicaid) you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
